Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra
& Youth Symphony
2015-2016
Welcome to the Santa
Barbara Junior Orchestra!
Hello, Friends!
This year is off to an exciting start! The inclusion of woodwinds and brass
increases our numbers and the amount of sound produced by this ensemble. For our
first-timers, the experience of the first few rehearsals can be overwhelming, returning
students take it all in stride.
The reward for me is my observation of these students. I see the respect and
value they have for each other, their show of commitment to the music and the
rehearsals,and the determination in their eyes to meet their musical challenge.
Support of our musical community is strengthened by how they relate to each other.
These values are a strong reflection of who they are and who they represent:
you, the parents and guardians. With your continued support and guidance, they
become solid in who they are. Thank you for all of your support and trust as my
colleagues and I share with your children our love for what we do.
This is going to be a grand year!

Bienvenido a la Santa
Barbara Orquesta Juvenil!
Hola amigos!
Este año ha empezado muy emocionante! La inclusión de instrumentos de
viento y metal aumenta nuestros números de participación y la cantidad de sonido
que este formación produce. Para nuestros nuevos estudiantes, la experiencia de los
primeros ensayos puede ser abrumadora. Para los estudiantes que regresan, lo
toman todo con calma.
El premio para mi es mi observación de estos estudiantes. Veo el respeto y el
valor que tienen el uno al otro. Su espectáculo de compromiso con la música y los
ensayos. La determinación en sus ojos para cumplir su reto musical. Por último,
nuestra comunidad musical se ve reforzada por la forma en que se relacionan y
sostienen mutuamente.
Estos valores son una fuerte reflexión de lo que son y que representan:
ustedes, los padres y tutores. Con su apoyo, se ponen fuerte. Gracias por todo su
apoyo y confiar en mis colegas y yo. Compartimos el amor por lo que hacemos con
sus hijos.
Esta va ser un gran año!

She was a member of the Anderson String Quartet for 10 years.
She has studied the art of string quartet playing with the Cleveland

For Marisa, performance is sustenance. She relishes the
interdependence between art, the artist, and the audience. And as a
teacher and coach, she finds herself in the enviable position of being
able to pass on to others the how-to of creating this loving relationship.

From the Director of Education

Dear Symphony Friends,
The Santa Barbara Symphony Music Education

years. In the 2014-2015 season we were able to

expecting nearly 5,300. To celebrate music
education, community, and friendship
throughout the year I would like to ask everyone
to join me in what will be some amazing
concerts, community collaborations, and end-ofyear celebrations.
While the growth of the Santa Barbara Symphony
Music Education Center is extremely exciting, we continue to need financial
support to meet the needs of all the students in our programs. Please review

Welcome to the Santa Barbara
Youth Symphony!
Welcome to our concert!
I’m constantly amazed by the accomplishments of the SBYS musicians. These
players come together in rehearsal, and in the course of about nine
rehearsals, produce the concert you’re hearing today. Most of them are
performing these pieces for the first time, and many of them are still in only
the first or second year of their orchestral experience. The art of reading
music on the page and turning it into a polished musical performance is
difficult, and admirable. The truth is that all musicians who read and perform
music, are doing so using a “second language.” We musicians must learn to
interpret the written language of music, while perfecting the techniques of
our instruments. I hope that the beautiful music performed today will satisfy
you. I’m sure that our musicians and their musical abilities will inspire you.
After today’s concert, the SBYS musicians will turn their attention to our final
concert on May 22. The 4pm concert at the Lobero Theatre will feature our
musicians playing a vast range of music. SBYS members Lorenz Chen and
Moonman Whitehead will be the featured soloists, and all of our fine
musicians will be featured. We will honor our seniors, many of whom have
played in the orchestra for three or more years.
Previous to that concert, on March 5 at 4pm, members of SBYS will join many
wonderful young musicians to present the Annual Community Concert.
Members of the Junior Orchestra, the Santa Barbara Symphony String
Workshop, iCAN, and musicians from many Santa Barbara schools will
perform in at the open space behind the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The
Museum education staff will provide activities for the entire family. Each year
more than 200 musicians perform together in this concert, which is presented
with the goal of providing a unique performance opportunity for musicians
and audience members alike.
Thank you for sharing your day, and our music!
Andy Radford, Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Music Director
Bienvenidos a la Santa Bárbara
Sinfónica Juvenil!
Bienvenidos a nuestro concierto!
Estoy constantemente sorprendido por los logros de los músicos de SBYS.
Estos músicos vienen juntos en el curso de 9 ensayos, produciendo el
concierto de hoy. Muchos de ellos están tocando estas piezas de música por
primera vez y muchos de ellos todavía están en el primer o segundo año de
sus experiencias con la orquesta.
El arte de la lectura musical para convertirlo en una presentación musical es
difícil y admirable. La verdad es que todos los músicos que leen y tocan
música están usando una segunda lengua. Nosotros los músicos tenemos
que leer para interpretar la lengua escrita de la música, mientras
simultáneamente las técnicas se perfeccionan de nuestros instrumentos.
Espero que les guste la música hermosa de hoy. Estoy seguro de que
nuestros músicos y sus habilidades musicales le inspirara.
Después del concierto de hoy, los SBYS músicos darán su atención a nuestro
final concertó el 22 de Mayo. El concertó de las 4pm en Lobero Theatre
contara nuestros músicos tocando música. Miembros SBYS Lorenz Chen y
Moonman Whitehead seran los solistas principales, y todos nuestros músicos
esteran participando. Vamos a honorar a nuestros seniors, muchos de los
cuales han tocado en la orquesta por tres o más años.
El 5 de Marzo a las 4pm, miembros del SBYS se unirán a muchos maravillosos
músicos jóvenes para presentar el concertó anual de la comunidad.
Miembros de la orquesta juvenil, taller de instrumentos de cuerda, iCan, y
músicos de muchas escuelas de Santa Barbara, esteran participando en el
concierto en el espacio abierto atrás del Museo de Arte de Santa Barbara. El
personal de la educación del museo proporcionara actividades para la familia
entera. Cada año más de 200 músicos tocan juntos en este concierto
presentando con la meta de proveer una única ejecución y oportunidad para
los músicos y la audiencia.
Gracias por compartir su día, y nuestra música.
